I love New York, Saturday, November 16, 2013

So far we have been very lucky as the weather has been fantastic.  While it has been a bit cold, it has not rained nor snowed, so we feel fortunate.

Today we visited one of our favorite photo gallery, the International Center of Photography.  We saw the Zoe Strauss exhibit and loved it.  Below is a photo of one of her photo's!


We also saw an exhibit from Lewis Hine, it was also very special.  The last exhibit was due to it being 50 years, almost to the date when JFK was killed.  This exhibit was from a Bystanders View of History.

This afternoon (2:00pm) we saw THE BEST MUSICAL EVER called KINKY BOOTS!  It won 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical.  Cyndi Lauper made history by being the first women to win a Tony Award for Best Score.  We saw it at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.



We LOVED it!

And yet the day was NOT over......we walked quite away and then took the Subway to 125th street - Harlem.  Harlem has become a bit gentrified, which makes it so much more comfortable walking around, especially in the evening.  We ate dinner at the Corner Social restaurant prior to the show.

We saw the Preservation Hall Jazz Band at the World Famous Apollo Theater, this too was an amazing experience, both to be inside of the Apollo Theater AND be able to see the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.  Here is a You Tube video of one of the songs they played and are some of our photo's:
